Asking what if?
The main tool of any innovator is the ability and the courage to ask, “what if?” That is the key question that leads to new explorations, innovations and improvements. In the context of developing downtown Idaho Falls we have framed the question to look like this, “What I.F.?”

Think about that question, “What I.F.?” and all the parameters and implications it involves. As you think try to envision the future and the possibilities for our beautiful city in five years, in ten, twenty, in one hundred years? Then as ideas come to you write them down, no matter how ridiculous or infeasible they may be. One example submitted recently by an area youth was the idea of an Idaho Falls Winter Olympic bid 20 to 30 years from now. Wow! That is someone with the courage to ask what if?, "What I.F.?"

How do you envision downtown Idaho Falls in five years? in twenty years? in fifty years?
